Diamond technology: taking big science to the tabletop

An innovative, diamond-enabled microscope is turning quantum metrology into a portable reality, opening up new opportunities in energy-efficient electronics.With the quantum power of NV diamond (Element Six’ DNV™ Series), faster and more accurate atomic-scale material analysis can now be achieved in a standard lab environment, with just one operator using the tabletop Qnami ProteusQ™. Through the Scanning NV Magnetometry technique, quantum sensors made of sharp, microscopic NV diamond tips can be precisely maneuvered over tiny magnetic structures to map and visualise magnetic properties. This delivers improved nano-scale spatial resolution, performing ten times better than large scale XMCD. Offering real time feedback and the potential for industrial scaling, this breakthrough device has the potential to accelerate R&D and commercialisation of new technology that relies on nano-structures and the manipulation of electrons.

Turning quantum metrology into a portable reality

Bottleneck of SOTA

To understand the root cause of any system failures, it is necessary to measure the effects of microscopic changes in the design or fabrication process. Traditional diagnostic tools provide no direct information on the magnetic properties of such devices, slowing down the development process.
